All lap races. Lap counts determined by the length of the track. All the road courses are about 40% of a F1 Grand Prix. There's is not set duration. Races well be between 30 minutes to 45 minutes. I'll post details for the Week 1 races about 2 weeks out. Otherwise all league information can be found in Post #3.

And I don't think it's a humidity gauge. Since it's detecting water on the surface of the track. A humidity gauge detects water in the air.
I don't know of any technical term for it but I would call it the rain gauge or rain meter.

I just decided to look it up in the Gran Turismo 7 manual on Gran Turismo's website. It's called a Surface Water Indicator. The one of our members in the PSN chat got it correct.
 
Sorry if I missed it, are we allowed to change the aero parts on the formulacars for liveries? I know no engine swaps.
I didn't think they can change aero parts. Full tuning will be allowed exceptions for engine swaps. It will allow to run a custom transmission so can change gearing. Will be needed for the high top speed tracks and ovals.

Also how is your vacation? Where did you go?

Thanks, still on the trip right now in Denver, CO. Today crossing the rockies via Independence pass, then spending some time in canyonlands of southern Utah.

I believe the aero parts only change aesthetics and all perform the same as stock, but I'm not 100% sure.
 
I'm really looking forward to the Camaro event!

Not so very much to the Formula cars. The reason? Those damn bodies are too fruiting hard to fit a livery on! I don't wanna have to rely on someone else's and just put my decals on, but I guess that's what I'll have to do.

Also, Randy "Full Throttle" Walker has been busy covering other events that I'm not gonna promote anymore since no one gave a shirt, but he's looking foward to maybe make some reportings for Cold Warrior's League.

Also also, I'm still waiting for A.Miller's driving school to open doors and see if he can make a racer out of me, but it seems he's not very interested. I am hopeless. But hey, every league needs someone to finish last, right?

Nothing wrong with dragging the anchor if you are having fun.
 
I'll probably do karts next after the Camaro ZL1 One-Makes. I remember someone requested them. I'm not the best at driving the kart. So no way I was running them on my birthday.
 
It was pretty much a joke...Karts in the Nordschleife. I even remeber @fastone371 said it was the dumbest idea he had heard in his life.
Is this you resending the requested then? Because I'm the host that had us run a Gr.1 Gr.3 mixed race at Willow Springs Horse Thief Mile for season 2 of the Endurance League. You picked the wrong host to give that kind challenge to.

Do it! I mean, what's the worst that can happen?
 
Karts start sliding backwards because they don't have the power for Flugplatz.
The hills are not a problem. The Kart barely out weighs the rider or not if they American. It's maximum fuel range is more concerning. After figuring out it can't complete 2 laps at any configuration using Nordschleife. I decided to do a fuel range text at the Blue Moon Oval. Ran about 9 and half laps. Fuel is roughly about 18.9 miles at x1.

RH for Watkins Glen and Blue Moon. RM for Mount Panorama and Le Mans. Le Mans is rain or shine. So I recommend you buy wets as well. Otherwise yes race it as you bought it works.

How long is the Burg, 24 miles? When my kids were young they raced karts, when tan the full lap at Road America, I'm not sure but I think it was 4 laps so that's around 18 miles but we ran alcohol which uses 30-40% more fuel than gasoline so we shoulda been knocking on door of running 24 miles. Nobody ran out of fuel at RA so it's not like we were on the verge of running out of fuel either. Just trying to compare real life to GT.

Road America is listed as 4.048 miles according to Wikipedia. So 4 laps would be about 16.192. Still it's higher end shifter kart. You would think they would give it more range than that. It's also claimed it can reach 124.3. mph in the description. But I only managed 113 mph at the Blue Moon Oval. And it's flat out the entire lap.
 
Its just something you learn to accept, kind of like getting chewed up by mosquitoes on summer nights.
Along with the stupid itchy bump. There's the diseases you involuntary risk getting from them. And everyone of those forced donations is so they can make more mosquitoes.
 
Well I officially turn 36 at 7:59pm. Right about at the end of the 1st race. I was born sunnyside up (which is the wrong orientation), with my arm warped around my neck, and a hole in my one of my lungs. I came out a slight blush color which has ironically became my favorite color.
